Our take on the Shop Fox 5-Piece HSS Lathe Set D3788

The Shop Fox D3788 is a five-piece lathe tool set with high-speed steel (HSS) cutting tips and wooden handles. HSS holds an edge longer than carbon steel and tolerates the heat of turning, so it suits general spindle and bowl work in soft and medium hardwoods. The long handles give good leverage over the tool rest. It is a starter set rather than a premium line: turners who work hard exotics or turn daily often move up to carbide or heavier gouges.

Questions and answers

Is this set good for a beginner?
Yes. Five HSS tools cover the basic cuts for spindle and light bowl work, and HSS is forgiving to sharpen. A beginner will still need a grinder or sharpening system.
HSS or carbon steel?
HSS is the better choice. It keeps its edge longer and handles the heat of turning better than carbon steel, which dulls faster.
Will these fit my lathe?
They are standard full-size lathe tools with long handles, so they suit most mid-size and full-size lathes. Very small mini lathes may feel cramped with the long handles.
Do I need to sharpen them out of the box?
Expect to hone the edges before first use. HSS tools come with a working edge but benefit from a touch-up on a grinder or stone.
Can I turn bowls with this set?
Light bowl work is possible, but the tools are better suited to spindles. Heavy bowl turning calls for heavier bowl gouges.
Where is the Shop Fox 5-Piece HSS Lathe Set D3788 cheapest?
At JB Tools, for $128.25, as of our latest check.
